I have been saying for some time in this place, and many other places, that a combined effort between French and English forces would be very useful on the ground in France to stop the boats from even getting to the beaches in the first place. We have the technology and we can destroy the boats; I do not see why we do not do that. My right hon. Friend Sir Edward Leigh and I wish to visit Calais to meet the mayor to discuss that idea. Will my right hon. Friend join us?
